Page 278 - Gabb, the palzeontologist to the California State Survey. Although resembling Purpura aperta and congeners in the irregular rugose folds of the labium, and Siphonalia in the strongly bent canal, Mr. H. Adams considers that its affinities are closest with the Cantharus group of Pisania. That genus is extremely abundant in the tropical fauna, but does not now live in California. It is the only distinctly tropical shell in the whole collection ; and its presence, along with so many boreal species and...

The Arachnida, or spiders, possess four pairs of legs ; the body is divided into two parts, the cephalothorax and abdomen. The segments composing the abdomen bear no appendages. Spiders are aerial in their habits. The Myriapoda, or centipedes, have a long body consisting of numerous segments, each of which bears a pair of legs. The Insecta, or insects, have three pairs of legs. They are aerial in habits, and breathe by means...
